Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

When Gu Ling came out of the bathroom after washing up, she saw that Xian Jiu had half of her body buried in her suitcase, as if she was rummaging through something.

"Xian Jiu, what are you looking for?"

As soon as Gu Ling walked over, she heard Xian Jiu meow happily and take out a small hat from her suitcase and put it on her head.

After putting it on, Xianjiu didn't forget to use her telekinesis to control the small mirror to fly over, and while looking in the mirror, she repeatedly corrected the angle of the hat with her claws.

After finding a satisfactory angle, Xian Jiu ran towards Gu Ling and jumped onto Gu Ling's shoulder in a few steps: "Meow~" Let's go!

They were full of vigor and high spirits, as if they were about to go to war.

"Okay, let's go!"

Gu Ling was somewhat surprised that Xian Jiu would take out her precious hat to wear. She touched Xian Jiu's cat head through the hat, but the feel of it wasn't very nice.

So, Gu Ling casually patted the mischievous ghost that floated over, and then went out with Huang Weiwei, satisfied.

After leaving the hotel, Gu Ling and the others from Nanping No. 1 Middle School took a car to the central battle arena.

There are only four individual quarterfinal matches today, so there is plenty of time and no need to play at the same time.

Gu Ling and Ouyang Ming's match was scheduled for the first game. So when they arrived at the venue, they saw several large screens playing the two players' information and some clips from previous matches. The commentators were also giving a pre-match presentation to liven up the atmosphere.

"Welcome everyone to the Group A quarterfinals of the friendly match! I'm your commentator for today, Xue Lu!"

"The match between Ouyang Ming from the Beast Taming Vocational School and Gu Ling from Nanping No. 1 Middle School is about to begin! Both contestants are two-star Beast Tamers and have contracted two pet beasts. Which pet beasts will they use in the battle? It's truly something to look forward to!"

"..."

Before going on stage, Gu Ling left the mischievous kid in the rest area and reminded Xian Jiu again: "Xian Jiu, remember the tactics we discussed later. Try not to attack at close range. Use 100,000 Volts to wear down the big-eyed crocodile from a distance."

Xian Jiu nodded seriously: "Meow~"

When Ouyang Ming saw that Gu Ling had only brought Xian Jiu to the stage, he immediately realized something.

"Gu Ling, you actually sent the extraordinary-level Thunder Seal Cat to the field?" Ouyang Ming's smile faded slightly, even carrying a hint of anger at being looked down upon.

Is Gu Ling really that confident that he can defeat his Warrior-level Big-Eyed Crocodile with a Super-level Thunder Seal Cat?

"Is there a problem?" Gu Ling patted Xian Jiu's head, bent down and put Xian Jiu into the battlefield.

Ouyang Ming chuckled softly, "No problem."

Since they were there to give him points, Ouyang Ming was naturally happy to oblige.

Gu Ling, just wait and see if you lose the game.

Gu Ling could guess what was going on with Ouyang Ming's sudden cold attitude, and immediately whispered to Xian Jiu, "Xian Jiu, he underestimated you."

"Mmm~" Xian Jiu glanced at Ouyang Ming with a rather noble and aloof air, and let out a soft hum.

Meow Meow Emperor was initially underestimated by a group of short-sighted pets, but he later proved them wrong.

I am the reincarnation of the Meow Emperor, and I've calculated that I'll soon be able to slap the face of that two-legged beast!

After Ouyang Ming summoned the giant crocodile, Xian Jiu stared intently at it.

When the big-eyed crocodile appears, it stands on its hind legs. Its whole body is chocolate brown, and its skin, from its head to its back to its tail, is very hard with uneven texture, except for the skin on its belly, which is relatively soft.

Xian Jiu clenched her little paws: "Meow~"

The beast tamer told me all about it last night.

This big-eyed crocodile often bullies weaker pets at school, damages public property, and talks back to teachers; it's a rogue crocodile.

Today, I, the cat, am going to speak up for the people! I'll teach this rogue crocodile a lesson!

"Sand crocodile~"

On the other side, Big Eye Crocodile was also forced by Ouyang Ming to watch the Mischievous Ghost's competition video last night. It thought Mischievous Ghost was its opponent today, but unexpectedly, a "little guy" has come up.

The two pets walked onto the arena and faced each other across the distance, neither willing to yield an inch.

The crocodile exhaled a stream of white vapor from its nostrils, its eyes filled with disdain: "Sand Crocodile~" You little kitten, don't come crying and begging for mercy later!

Xian Jiu put her hands on her hips and shook her head knowingly, "Meow~" This cat doesn't talk to big, simple-minded idiots; it'll lower my IQ~

The big-eyed crocodile glared angrily at Xianjiu: "Sand Crocodile~" Little kitten! Say it again if you dare!

Immediately, Xian Jiu's expression turned "surprised": "Mew~" What? You big dummy, are you deaf?

So pitiful~ He's so young and already hard of hearing~ (*￣3￣)╭

The crocodile gritted its teeth, its eyes growing increasingly fierce: Little kitty! I'm going to beat you to tears today!

"It seems both sides' pets are highly motivated! Let's first see what type of terrain this match has been randomly assigned... It's here! It's an ice-type terrain!"

As the commentator's voice faded, the original competition venue underwent a dramatic transformation, with a cold, smooth ice surface covering the entire arena.

Xian Jiu walked carefully on the ice, afraid that she might slip if she wasn't careful.

On the other side, the big-mouthed crocodile looked completely unconcerned.

"The first match of the individual quarterfinals: Gu Ling from Nanping No.8 Middle School vs. Ouyang Ming from Beast Taming Vocational School. Each player may use only one pet beast, and pet beasts cannot be changed during the match. The match is now officially starting—"

At the start of the match, Ouyang Ming took the initiative and launched an attack: "Big-eyed Crocodile! Use the Rocket Headbutt!"

Suddenly, the crocodile lay down on the ice and, to everyone's astonishment, slid across it at lightning speed, using both its hands and feet!

Gu Ling: "Dodge using high-speed movement!"

Just as Xian Jiu was about to use high-speed movement, her foot slipped, and she fell awkwardly onto the ice.

Seeing that the giant crocodile was about to crash into Xianjiu, Gu Ling immediately changed his command: "Use teleportation!"

At the last second, Xianjiu used teleportation to create distance and narrowly avoided the giant crocodile's rocket headbutt.

Gu Ling's expression was somewhat solemn.

The crocodile used the smooth ice surface, thus greatly increasing its speed.

If it weren't for Xianjiu's ability to teleport, she would have been hit directly by the rocket headbutt.

"Keep using the rocket headbutt!" After failing with his first attack, Ouyang Ming immediately continued his pursuit.

The giant crocodile adjusted its angle with its limbs, launched its rocket headbutt again, and charged straight at Xianjiu!

"Meow~"

This time, without needing Gu Ling to say anything more, Xian Jiu decisively used teleportation to dodge.

"Unbelievable! The giant crocodile actually used its smooth belly to 'drift' across the ice-type terrain, completely unrestricted by the surface!"

The commentator's voice carried a hint of worry: "On the other hand, Raikou is having a bit of trouble. They seem to be having some difficulty adapting to the smooth ice surface and can only use Teleport to dodge, but that doesn't allow them to counterattack."

At this moment, Ouyang Ming appeared confident and composed.

At the Beast Taming Vocational School, Ouyang Ming had the Big-Eyed Crocodile undergo targeted training in various attribute scenarios.

Seeing Xian Jiu slip and fall onto the ice again, Gu Ling quickly said, "Xian Jiu, don't be nervous."

The ice rink for the friendly match is a bit different from the ice rinks I've been to at school. The training equipment here in the central battle arena is more sophisticated, and the ice surface is smoother, so you can easily slip if you're not careful.

Yesterday, I had Xianjiu get used to the ice-type terrain and discovered this problem.

For a short time, it was only possible to allow Xianjiu to walk normally on the ice. However, the difficulty of using speed-based skills such as Lightning Flash or High Speed ​​Movement increased exponentially.

However, it's not like there's no way to solve it...

Gu Ling's eyes sharpened slightly: "Xian Jiu, use 100,000 Volts on the ice!"

"Meow~" Xian Jiu arched her back slightly, her fur standing on end, bathed in lightning.

A thick bolt of lightning condensed and struck the ice surface!

The ice surface immediately cracked inch by inch, and the hard ice layer turned into countless fragments, flying everywhere like blooming ice and snow flowers.

The terrifying lightning energy spread outwards continuously, like giant lightning pythons dancing at high speed, wantonly destroying and wreaking havoc on the field!

In an instant, the once smooth ice surface became cracked and pitted.

The commentator's voice rang out in confusion: "What is Gu Ling doing? Why is he letting Raicin Cat use Thunderbolt on the ice? Isn't that just wasting Raicin Cat's stamina?"

Seeing this, Gu Ling's expression relaxed slightly: "Xian Jiu, use High-Speed ​​Movement again!"

This time, Xianjiu successfully used high-speed movement and was no longer affected by the ice surface.

Ouyang Ming's eyes darkened: "Big-eyed Crocodile, Rocket Headbutt!"

The big-eyed crocodile looked at the ground covered with broken ice, reluctantly stood up, and strode towards Xian Jiu.

Just a second before being attacked by the giant crocodile, Xianjiu used teleportation to dodge again!

"100,000 volts!"

Immediately afterwards, another 100,000 volts was generated and this time it was fired at Crocodile!

boom!

The crocodile was electrocuted and its whole body went numb, causing it to convulse.

"Oh my god! So it was using Thunderbolt to destroy the originally smooth ice surface. This way, not only can Raicuk regain its speed advantage, but it can also slow down Crocodile's movement speed." The commentator suddenly realized.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem itself!

This is the method Gu Ling came up with to deal with ice-type terrain.

At this moment, Xian Jiu made a face at the big-eyed crocodile, looking smug: "Meow~" You big oaf, you're such a weakling~

"Use bubble light!"

As soon as Ouyang Ming finished speaking, the big-eyed crocodile, enduring the pain of being electrocuted, opened its mouth and spat out a series of bubbles.

Xianjiu once again activated high-speed movement, dodging the attack.

Although it missed Sage Mode 9, Crocodile got rid of Thunderbolt and glared back defiantly: "Sand Crocodile~" Nonsense! I'm the school bully!

Xian Jiu curled her lip, her expression disdainful.

"Meow~" Only cowards like to bully the weak. I didn't expect you to be a coward, you big dummy!

The crocodile was so angry that it jumped up and down, and opened its mouth to use its water gun skill.

Seeing this, Xianjiu's cat eyes lit up slightly. She teleported away from the water gun attack and then unleashed a 100,000-volt attack!

"...Crocodile!" Crocodile was hit by 100,000 volts and its whole body convulsed. It gritted its teeth and endured the pain, but its face still showed a look of pain.

Even though the Big-Eyed Crocodile has thick skin and a higher level than Xianjiu, it is still a water-type pet and it is not easy to be hit by electric-type skills.

After the 100,000 volts ended, the crocodile's body began to sway.

"Excellent!" Gu Ling's face lit up with joy, eager to press her advantage: "Xian Jiu, use 100,000 Volts again!"

At this moment, Xian Jiu was panting heavily.

Although his proficiency with the 100,000 Volt skill has improved, Xian Jiu is still at the extraordinary level, and using excessively powerful skills continuously will take a heavy toll on him.

Ouyang Ming observed the crocodile's current state, a sudden smile playing on his lips: "Crocodile, use the water gun!"

boom!boom!

The two energies, water and electricity, intertwine in mid-air, neither giving way to the other.

But something unexpected happened!

The power of the water gun skill suddenly surged, instantly surpassing 100,000 volts!

"...Meow!" Xian Jiu was hit by the water gun and flew backward in pain.

Gu Ling's heart tightened.

What happened?

Has the crocodile's skill power suddenly become stronger?

The commentator exclaimed in surprise, "Feraligatr actually beat Raichu with a Wave Charge?! Could it be that Feraligatr's Torrent ability took effect? ​​The Torrent ability makes Water-type moves more powerful when Feraligatr's HP is low!"

"Xian Jiu, can you still stand up?" Gu Ling was a little worried about Xian Jiu's condition.

Xianjiu rarely got injured in previous battles, this was the first time she had suffered such a serious injury.

"Meow~" Xian Jiu stood up from the ground and nodded firmly to Gu Ling.

The big-eyed crocodile, who had finally won a round, was laughing heartily and taunting Xian Jiu by wiggling his butt: "Sand Crocodile~"

Seeing this, Xianjiu became even more furious.

Just then, Gu Ling's voice rang out: "Xian Jiu! Use 100,000 Volts!"

"Meow!"

Xian Jiu roared to the sky. In his beautiful, round cat eyes, the pupils were now cold and vertical, containing an inviolable majesty. In an instant, his body erupted with dazzling lightning. The violent lightning power transformed into a golden dragon, sweeping across the entire ice-type arena with overwhelming momentum!

Ouyang Ming's expression changed.

If Crocodile were to withstand such a powerful 100,000 volts, even a Warrior-level fighter would be overwhelmed.

"Big-eyed crocodile, get out of the way!"

Upon hearing the instruction to avoid the area, the crocodile, who was already somewhat frightened, tried to follow the Beastmaster's instructions and move away.

Just then, Xian Jiu glared at the big-eyed crocodile with disdain, a faint red light shining in her cat eyes: "Meow~" Whoever avoids it is a coward!

Hypnosis

The crocodile shuddered, its eyes glazed over for a moment, and then it flew into a rage!

"Sand Crocodile~" I'm not a coward!

"Big-eyed crocodile! What are you doing? Get out of the way!"

Ouyang Ming's exasperated voice brought the giant crocodile back to its senses.

But it was too late to dodge; the crocodile was struck directly by the violent lightning!

The pain brought the crocodile back to its senses. It struggled to escape with a look of terror on its face, but the electric current that wrapped around it was like being bitten by a series of agile venomous snakes, flashing and tearing at it incessantly!

The crocodile screamed repeatedly, its body convulsing violently involuntarily!

"...Giant crocodile!"

When the effects of the 100,000 volts wore off, the crocodile collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, its body still twitching involuntarily.

"Damn it! Big-eyed Crocodile! Get up!" Ouyang Ming shouted loudly to Big-eyed Crocodile, but received no response.

After the referee finished counting down, the result was announced: "Big-Eyed Crocodile is unable to fight, Thunder Cat wins, and the winner of this match is Gu Ling!"

With the referee's final whistle, Gu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Won!

"Meow~" Xian Jiu ran back happily and jumped into Gu Ling's arms.

Gu Ling picked up Xian Jiu and spun her around: "Xian Jiu, you did a great job!"

Xian Jiu proudly raised her little head: "Meow~"

Of course! I am the Cat Emperor!

The emperor's aura is invincible! ~ψ(｀)ψ

"..."

After the match ended, Gu Ling and the others continued watching the match between Xia Zihan and Lu Jiuwen.

The two faced very strong opponents this time: Yu Xiliang from Hailan No.1 Middle School and Shen Qingyue from Hailan Experimental Middle School. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to win the match.

After the top 8 in the individual competition were all completed, the list of those who advanced to the semifinals was released.

Gu Ling vs. Yu Xiliang.

Shen Qingyue vs. Pei Zhili.

Upon seeing that her next opponent was Yu Xiliang from Hailan No. 1 Middle School, Gu Ling took a deep breath and patted the mischievous boy's head: "Mischievous boy, it's up to you to play in the next match."

"Hehehe~"

The mischievous boy nodded with a serious expression.

However, the individual semifinals are after the team semifinals, so the priority tonight should be the team semifinals tomorrow.

Therefore, when the students from Nanping No. 1 Middle School gathered at noon, Zhou Mengran brought up this matter: "Tomorrow our opponent is Hailan Experimental Middle School."

"You all watched the match between Shen Qingyue, the captain of Hailan Experimental Middle School, and Lu Jiuwen today, and you all know that he is a formidable opponent."

Although Shen Qingyue's pet beast, the Fiery Horse, has not yet reached the level of a warrior, its strength is still several levels stronger than that of an ordinary extraordinary pet beast.

"The Three-Tailed Fire Fox and the Mini Doll were seriously injured in today's match, so you won't be participating in tomorrow's team match."

"Gu Ling, Pei Gang, and... Si Ruo, you will be the ones to fight against Hailan Experimental Middle School tomorrow."

The three answered in unison, "Yes."
